The central section is sub-rectangular in plane [width:30.8mm, height:29.59mm] and ovoid in cross section [width:30.8mm, thickness:20.44mm]. The slot for the probably iron blade is filled and the shape indistinguishable.One face (outer) has two parallel incised lines running the height of the central section (21.54mm apart at the lower edge, 28.82mm at the upper edge), with a raised centralised lozenge (19.66mm x 13.36). There is an incised line 1.15mm in from the edge of the lozenge. The opposite face has two parallel incised lines running the height of the central section (21.54mm apart at the lower edge, 28.82mm at the upper edge) with no other apparent decoration.The intact arm is 12.25mm wide and 16.6mm long, with three equally spaced incised lines on the outer face of the straight length. The arm thins from 8.76mm to 7.48mm where it flattens out to 14.51mm wide, 9.8mm thick, 7.84mm long sub-triangle, decorated with three equally spaced ridges. From the horizontal ridges the arm terminates in a scallop (18.93mm long x 17.87mm wide) decorated with five equally spaced longitudinal ridges.The incomplete arm terminates in an historic break, there is no apparent decoration on this arm (12.3mm long, 13.9mm wide, 7.94mm thick).
